Hong Kong’s Sovereignty
A symbol of China's colonial suffering and humiliation
After 150 years of British rule, 1 July 1997 saw the transfer of the sovereignty of Hong Kong from Britain to China. This final programme of a four-part series looks at how Hong Kong symbolises China's modern history of colonial suffering and humiliation, and how that history explains much of modern China's urge to succeed.
